Spring is drawing to an end and summer is on its way. This is going to be our last Spring Gear Guide for 2012, but it is full of great gear to help you get out and play in the water. The gear in this guide is built to last as well as to help protect you and your gear. So check it out and then get out and play. Over the next couple of months we will be posting some of our favorite picks for new summer gear, so check back often.
I’ve kayaked in the Pacific Northwest for about 15 years, and conclude you can be exposed to a lot of great scenery with a low ‘hassle factor’ in several places throughout Oregon and Washington, without the added expense or time of venturing up to Canada. That being said, if you do want to invest the extra time and money, Vancouver Island, B.C. and the myriad of islands that surround it is a great kayaking destination. If you want a little summer in your winter, the Sea of Cortez in Baja, Mexico is a good trip, too. But more on that man`ana.
